Divorce & Separation

The decision to separate - whether through divorce or by agreement - is a turning point. It brings legal, financial, and personal change and often more questions than answers. At Pre-Law, we provide clear, strategic support – helping you understand your position, protect what matters, and take considered steps forward. We support you through every stage of separation – from early decisions to final agreements. Whether you’re dividing finances, making arrangements for children, or simply working out what’s fair, we help you reach outcomes that are fair and amicable.

How We Help

We provide clear, focused advice across all aspects of divorce and separation, including:

  • Understanding the Process – explaining how the no-fault divorce system works, or what to consider during an informal or formal separation.
  • Divorce Applications – guidance on completing and submitting a divorce application (individually or jointly), and managing timelines.
  • Separation Agreements – support with preparing agreements that set out financial and practical arrangements during or after a separation.
  • Financial Disclosure – helping you gather and present your financial information (e.g. Form E), including income, savings, pensions, and property.
  • Consent Orders & Settlements – advice on reaching and formalising a fair financial settlement, whether through negotiation or consent order.
  • Child Arrangements Overview – support around parenting plans, living arrangements, and understanding what the courts consider in family matters.
  • Next Steps & Practicalities - advice on updating your will, changing your name, or adjusting financial and living arrangements post-divorce.

Options We Advise On

Before or during a separation, it’s important to have a clear understanding of your overall position - financially and legally. Key areas to think about include:

  • Your financial picture - income, savings, debts, pensions, and jointly or solely owned property
  • Shared responsibilities - childcare, living arrangements, and any ongoing financial support
  • What a fair outcome might look like - and how best to approach this, whether independently or through a formal agreement

If you’re not sure where to start, we’ll help you understand your position and provide the support you need to take things forward.
